On June 12, 2012 Apple announced the new 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display. It has an LED-backlit display with a 2880-by-1800 resolution at 220 pixels per inch. Like its regular display counterpart, the MBP Retina 15" has two USB 3 ports and an SDXC card slot but sacrifices the FireWire 800 and ethernet ports to include two ThunderBolt ports and an HDMI port. The MagSafe Port has also been replaced with the MagSafe 2 port allowing for a thinner case design.

The most common repairs with the 15" MacBook Pro Retina Mid 2012 laptops are replacing a dead battery, replacing a malfunctioning left or right fan, or a damaged display assembly.
